I read the entire fifteen-book series in three days flat as a way to try and ease my COVID anxiety. It sort of worked. I hadn't read them in nearly twenty years. I wrote a long, spoilery, series-wide review on my Dreamwidth: https://c0nstantchange.dreamwidth.org...
I gave the first three books star ratings on here when I first joined. I was too daunted to rate them all. Now, I feel my long Dreamwidth review is more useful. ( )

Interesting, simple read. YA, teenage girls playing with wiccan magic. First of a series of 2 or 3, not interested in the rest. ( )

Three High School age girls explore spellcraft and start to learn about Witchcraft.

Booktalk: Who do you have a crush on these days? Is it the kind of crush where the other person doesn’t know you exist? And are you thinking ‘what would it take for you to notice me please!’ What would YOU do to get that person to be interested in you? Just about anythig? Would you consider doing...witchcraft? That’s the predicament of Kate Morgan who’s been mooning over Scott Coogan of the football team. Yeah, it’s such a cliche, the sophomore girl falling for the senior football player. But Kate can’t help it. She’s got it bad for Scott Coogan but she’s not even a blip on his radar. ...books on persecuction of witches...including a book of spells...should have been careful...be careful of what you wish for, you just might get it...But at the time she doens’t know that, only that it wouldn’t hurt to try. And so she lights a circWith this ribbon I do bind/my heart to yours and yours to mine/love I call you, come to me/as is my will SO MOTE IT BE by Isobel Bird, book one in the Circle

In the first book of the series, Kate finds herself wishing that popular jock Scott would like a girl like her. After being assigned a project on the Witch Trials she accadentally lends a book at the library she didn't want, a book of spells. Feeling bored and with nothing to do she decides to try one out for a bit of fun, but the results aren't what she was expecting and she finds herself desperately looking for someone that will help her...

I enjoyed this book. It was a simple, fun read, nothing too surprising or anything though. Will I get through the other 10+ books? I don't know.
The character's were unique and all, but the book felt like it lacked something. Kate, as the narrator was good but she annoyed me. I think the spells should have been a little more life-threatening for me to be more ivterested, they were bland and not very well thought out... in fact one was ripped straight from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. A good read if you like high school novels with a twist just don't expect anything too exciting. ( )
